Bell’s Niagara honeymoon

    From the Niagara Falls Review:

    Among the front page news stories in The Review Aug. 2, 1922, was one that reported the loss of a great creative genius. Headlined: “Inventor Of The Telephone Passes On,” the story announced the death of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell at his summer home near Baddeck, N.S. He was 75. Details about his life and career followed, along with the fact he would be buried “on top of Beinn Bhreagh Mountain at Baddeck in a spot chosen by himself.”

    Beinn Bhreagh, Gaelic for “beautiful mountain,” was the name of Bell’s large Cape Breton estate.

    A fact The Review did not mention, however, was that this famous man had spent one of the most significant periods of his life – his honeymoon – in Niagara Falls.
